What Is An Emergency Assessment Center?

In this episode we interview Jeff Shaw, Executive Director of Frontline Response. Founded in 2003, Frontline Response began with a heart for the frontlines – always seeking to find a need and meet it. Since incorporating in 2010, Frontline Response has assisted nearly 1,500 victims out of sex trafficking and transitioned over 1,000 men, women, and children out of homelessness. In 2018, the organization added youth prevention to its mission and has provided prevention programming to more than 600 youth facing adversity in overlooked communities throughout Metro Atlanta.

Frontline Response has developed a prototype for outreach, rescue, and emergency safe housing in the fight against sex trafficking that is sought after nationally. Jeff was in town to assess the possibility of creating an emergency assessment center in Houston, so we sat down to have a conversation to bring our podcast listeners in the loop.
